my grandmother played this on cassette every year when i was a kid,i grew up to be an electrician and i play this every year as i rig an insane amount of lights up at my house....gotta love the 80s and 90s lol
This is by far my absolute favorite parody of this song! I especially liked the part where the guy said “FINE! You’re so smart? You rig up the lights!” I literally laughed my damn head off every time I hear that!
“I don’t even know half these people” was my motivation to stop sending Christmas Cards. This song is a staple in our house at Christmas time. Hilarious
Can relate to this pain of christmas. Back when me and my ex were together i used to hate having to deal with my mother in law. Thankfully not my problem anymore
Oh this brings back memories of my childhood. The middle of July certainly is a weird time to be reminded of this song. My Dad had this on a cassette tape, and it was one of the things we'd listen to while making Christmas cookies. Simpler times. I miss when life was that simple. This song was always good for a few laughs around Christmas time, and a reminder that things could always be so much worse.
Have listened to this song growing up and going to school, just wish that songs like these were playing on the radio stations in rotation and in the stores and where I'm working especially around Christmas. I'm also learning this song in ASL. Still funny back then and now as an Adult 🎄🙂😊👍🤟.
I sat here rolling on the floor laughing because as a person who was elected every year to set up the Christmas tree (pre-lit or not), I resonated with the man complaining about the Christmas lights. It was certainly trouble that I ran into just about every year when setting up the Christmas tree. 😂
My band teacher introduced us to this today at our Christmas party. I like it. It was this song first, The Restroom Door Said Gentlemen second, and part of Wreck the Malls. I like this a lot.
If I close my eyes, the guy having problems with the lights, sounds like my old-man attempting to "decorate" the outside of our house in the sixties. MINUS the four-lettered "colorful" expletives!
LOL...I am the same with the lights...I do my fare share of swearing ..I am no angel..Those cheap lights ya get at the stores now a days...ugh ..even got the ..well snot knocked of me once...never touch them when it's raining ...ever..
Yeah, ...the old-man found that one out during a wet Dec."warm-spell," he thought he'd take advantage of back in '67. As Mom would tell the story latter - "He spit sparks for the next three days." My brother was standing next to him when it happened, and swore Dad actually "glowed" a little. It didn't help things that my uncle Bob kept calling him "Rudolf" for several seasons afterward.
@@thedealer777 LOL...I know how that feels..Me and electricity don't get along to well..ugh ..I grew up in older house ..It could be down to luck..I have even had what looked like blue flames come out of power outlet when my mom asked to plug a lamp into it...I was I kid back then..
If there were more than 12 days: The thirteenth thing at Christmas that's such a pain to me The New Years letdown December is my favorite month, since my birthday is a few weeks before Christmas, which means nothing after that. And New Years just rubs it in.
Lots of people yelling at each other by the end of this song! The music video for this song was kinda low budget, I take it, and never made it to either V66 or Turkey Television on Nickelodeon. 'cause both those things ended in 1986!
Alternate ending: Instead of them singing "And finding a Christmas tree", the song would end with someone singing "And sitting on top of a tree", possibly followed by "Ow!".
Now someone needs to make a parody called "The 12 Songs Of Christmas", about twelve annoying/overrated Christmas songs. The first song of Christmas my true love sang to me... The last verse would of course be "The twelfth song of Christmas my true love sang to me, 12 Days Of Christmas...".
If there was more than 12 days,... Dressing up like Santa I'm thinking they didn't include that because there was another song about that on the same album.
The rigging up the lights guy is my favorite! 😂
Love how he gets frustrated as the song goes on
I lost my shit at "Now why the hell are they blinking!"
@@mmeers89"ONE LIGHT GOES OUT, THEY ALL GO OUT!" 😂
@@reeses_unicorn "GET ME A FLASHLIGHT, I BLEW A FUSE!!"
@@mmeers89"FINE! YOU'RE SO SMART, YOU RIG UP THE LIGHTS!"
I always have loved the "rigging the lights" lines. Always gets me to laugh.
my grandmother played this on cassette every year when i was a kid,i grew up to be an electrician and i play this every year as i rig an insane amount of lights up at my house....gotta love the 80s and 90s lol
WHY THE HELL ARE THEY BLINKING
"FINE! YOU'RE SO SMART, YOU RIG UP THE LIGHTS!"
Yes, it's nowhere near Christmas and I'm here listening to this. 😂😂
The layers of hilarity in this song are GOLD. This is art.
USA Christmas starts at Halloween. ENOUGH already😵
IMO the funniest Christmas song ever
This is by far my absolute favorite parody of this song! I especially liked the part where the guy said “FINE! You’re so smart? You rig up the lights!” I literally laughed my damn head off every time I hear that!

For me as well, me and my older sister love this song
You made the right choice for a song staple during the holidays.;)
You don't have to do that if you want to, but some of the people might be the ones that you care about.
@williamsmith7302. . How would you even have addresses for people who you don’t know?
"She's a witch! I hate her!" This really is first world Christmas problems. 😂😂
I like "...And what do you mean *your* in-laws??".
Is that saying he's married to her?
@- Beeman I have no idea. Its just hilarious.
Can relate to this pain of christmas. Back when me and my ex were together i used to hate having to deal with my mother in law. Thankfully not my problem anymore
@@nbuehster as a kid I always interpreted that as his in-laws were worse. As an adult, I think that these two might’ve been married.
“Oh, I don’t even know half these people!” 🧐😂
“Shut up you.”
My fav parts

one of the greatest Christmas songs EVER!!!! By far!!!!
even today, decades after this song was produced, many of the things in the song are still relevant
This always cracks my mom and me up every Christmas. The "Hangovers" and "Lights" guys were our favorites!
So many memories associated with this song. It’s a sentimental part of my childhood. Thanks for the memories, Bob!

"Now, why the hell are they blinking?!"
One light goes out, they *all* go out!
“WHAT WE HAVE NO EXTENSION CHORDS?!”
That's my favorite part, and also about the Christmas cards "oh, I don't even know half these people"
@@TylerDunner Fine, you're so smart, YOU rig up the lights!
IM TRYING TO RIG UP THESE LIGHTS
Some say to this day hes still trying to rig up the lights!
He's my favorite part of the song. 😆
I can relate to so many of these by the time Christmas finally rolls around..
The guy putting up the lights is spot on for me lol, hopefully you all have good holidays coming up
Merry Christmas 2023
Love y’all 😃👍❤️🙏
My fav Christmas album. It's not Christmas unless I hear this song specifically. I LOVE IT!!! lol.
Yup me too! It never gets played on the radio anymore! What a shame
I don't know how I never heard this song until now is beyond me. My sisters and I love this song and laughed so hard!!!! 🎄🤣
Glad you enjoyed!
@@BobRiversTwistedTunesI love your song so much
You never know how relatable all of this is until you become an adult. Though as a kid, batteries not included always annoyed the hell out of me.
... for me too - darn batteries!😠
Very very true lol
FINE YOUR SO SMART YOU RING UP THE LIGHTS
GET A JOB YA BUM
You rig up the lights is the one I always remember.
You see, George? If you just embraced Festivus, you wouldn't have to worry about the lights!
I sat here rolling on the floor laughing because as a person who was elected every year to set up the Christmas tree (pre-lit or not), I resonated with the man complaining about the Christmas lights. It was certainly trouble that I ran into just about every year when setting up the Christmas tree. 😂
It's like a musical Christmas comedy that falls apart towards the end, with the arguing and the crying...
I always loved Bob Rivers
My favorite Christmas song!
Actually, the line is
"Fine, your so smart, you Rig up the lights!"
If my dad had decorated when we were growing up, he'd be the Christmas lights guy. 😂
The light guy is hilarious, I love him 🥰🤣😅😂
takes me back to the late 90's good times
"...And what do you mean *your* in-laws??"
Is that saying he's married to her? (I didn't think about that until now.)
BRINGING OUT THE LIGHTS!!!!
This is the best meaning of Xmas
Way too many classics to count...this one, I Am Santa Claus, and Walkin’ Round in Women’s Underwear are my top three Christmas bangers
Nostalgia overload !! Merry Christmas everyone !
I love this song every time I hear that song every year
best song ever especially with the lights! OMG! lmao
my fav tune for this time of year XD
On the third day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Three deaths a plenty
Two Homeless Strangers!
One RPG & a surprise a Sus pair of jeans!
I love those parts when that kid was saying that he wanted something.
This song gets quoted daily between my close friends and I during the holiday season. It's too relevant it's scary.

"FINE, YOU'RE SO SMART, YOU RING UP THE LIGHTS!!!"
And the two lines before that.
It's like the three people are yelling at each other.
Memories of the movie The Christmas Story came flashing back additionally I find humor in the song 😂
If there were more than 12 days:
The thirteenth thing at Christmas that's such a pain to me
The New Years letdown
December is my favorite month, since my birthday is a few weeks before Christmas, which means nothing after that. And New Years just rubs it in.
We had this album years ago glad it’s on here now
I almost crashed my car the first time I heard this on the radio.
Oh jeez, look at this!
Love this song
I hate xmas, and most xmas music. But this song I can tolerate.
Christmas , it's Christmas
Me too😆😆😆😆
Wow you're so "unique" and not at all a walking meme.
"' WHO'S GOT DA TOILET PAPAH. HUH?!!!!!
"THERE'S A FLASHLIGHT AND NO FUEL!!"
Most relatable Christmas song EVER! XD
Anybody other than me find this song relatable?
I always loved this kind of Christmas music the dirty kind
This shit is still gold 😂😂😂
Rigging up the lights channels my father so perfectly
I WANNA TRANSFORMER FOR CHRISTMAS!!!!!
Yo ho sending Christmas cards!!!!!

And the race is on... 🛍️🛒💨 🤗
Merry Christmas Nutsy ! Miss & Love You .

PS. It sounds like it turned into a meme after the twelfth day.
Lots of people yelling at each other by the end of this song!
The music video for this song was kinda low budget, I take it,
and never made it to either V66 or Turkey Television on Nickelodeon.
'cause both those things ended in 1986!
Rigging up the lights.
First time hearing this 🤣
I can relate to this as well.
Wish they still played this on the Radio. What a shame. I wonder what someone got offended from...
Great parody. I have it on CD & I really love it & Christmas.👍👍🏻
Sending Christmas cards is funny 🤣
Alternate ending:
Instead of them singing "And finding a Christmas tree", the song would end with someone singing "And sitting on top of a tree", possibly followed by "Ow!".
I love that I want a transformer for Christmas, and facing the inlaws
Merry Christmas 🎁🎄
Daddy I want some candy 🤣
I have to go to the bathroom
On 2nd day day of Christmas...
Jason Alexander is in this.
FINE, YOU'RE SO SMART, YOU RIG UP THE LIGHTS.

If someone doesn’t help him with those lights!!!!
I remember jamming to this at age 5 😂
Yep he's hilarious 😂
OMG I CRIED LAUGHING...😂😂😂😂
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
On the fifth chance, My dad originally does too, But he payed off all 5 months!
Now someone needs to make a parody called "The 12 Songs Of Christmas", about twelve annoying/overrated Christmas songs.
